That rain Monday night was the best
of the season The last law suit be-
fore Esquire Johnson was, Geo. King
VS.. A. w. Poe. King soon found he had
no case, and dismissed the suit, at the
cost Of school district number 20. The
costs and attorney fees were only about
S2l. The taxpayers can easily pay that
amount, and not feel it'd. w. Her
rington is packing his goods for slip
ment TO Canadian City. Judge Ste
Vens was in our city short time last
Friday. so we learn from others, who
saw him while here. The republican
primary at this place was rather tame
affair. j. a. McPhee was chairman,
and w. E. Burleigh secretary. Oscar
Haberline, j. A. McPhee, A. II. Peck,
j. A. Warren. j. J. Whallon and j. w.
FarTows were nominated and elected as
delegates; o. III. Dunbar, Seymour
Peck, Cyrus Butler, II. B. Steck, w. E.
Burleigh and George King were chosen
as alternates. Speeches were called
for. IL. J. Burleigh spoke nearly three
minutes. lie said: Educate the young
men in the republican faith, and vote
for Peek for treasurer. w. E. Bur.
leigh occupied nearly one minute in ex-
planning 10 the convention that he was
no speaker. Oscar Haberline made the
speech of the day. lie kept the audi
ence spell-bound for nearly four min
utes, while he admonished the dele
gates to stand firm for UaZelton, and
never, no, never, talk trade. lie knows
something of the ways that are dark
and the tricks that are vain in politics.
Z. b. Peck spoke about two minutes.
He urged the delegates to work for
uazelton man. J. y. McIhee thought
he had his hands full without any
speech. III. B. Steck was called for, and
in response moved to adjourn. 1t was
the only speech that seemed to be ap-
preciated bv the large number present.
That reminded me that there were only
IL republicans present. The above in
formation was given me by a democrat
who was present. Politics will be our
theme after the 10th of September, I'M
til the votes are counted in November.

Republican Primaries.

The republicans held their primaries
over the county, last Saturday, and
elected delegates to the county nomi-
mating convention, which will meet in
this city next Saturday. at Medicine
Lodge a spirited contest occurred, there
being no less than four tickets in the
field. The delegates elected from here
were: Z. III. Nixon, c. I. Rigg, ID. Van
Slyke, E. Sample, Chester 1. Long, Geo.
r. Stone, J. n. Titus, p. A. Simmons,
A. L. Noble, George w. Horney, III. c.
Thompson, G. w. Ellis, Granville Nor
ris and i. b. Macdonald. Each dele
gate was authorized to appoint his own
proxy.
1t is understood that this delegation
is for Whitaker for sheriff; 10 of the IA
for Rouse for county clerk, and about
that number for Ingraham for register.
This may not be their standing, but it
is about the public guess at the matter.
One thing is certain, it is nearly a solid
Medicine Lodge delegation, Messrs.
Rigg and VanSlyke being the only two
delegates who do not live inside the
corporate limits.
Kiowa elected the following dele
gates ]. w. Dobson, C.. II. Greeyer.
Capt. Smith, c. T. McElrath, A. w.

THE new party of the Pacific coast,
called "The American Party" has put
forth its platform. One clause says the
American Party is in favor of SO amend
ing the laws of immigration as to pre-
vent the coming to our shores all aliens
who are criminals or paupers; of all who
are not of moral character, intellectual
capacity and physical health, to give as
surances of their value as citizens, and
in favor of restricting the importation of
all laborers under contract of hire in any
industrial or mechanical pursuit. A few
planks in the platform of this party can
well be grasped by the Knights Of Labor.

AMONG the questions freely discussed
by Americans this summer, and by their
voiced advocate, the press, is that of the
vacant seat upon the Supreme Court
Bench-that seat made vacant last Nav
by the death of Mr.. Justice Woods,
There have been many opinions con-
corning the future incumbent of this
place-opinions stated in hundreds of
newspapers over the land, and in many
cases biased by the political status of
the journals putting them forth. That
the new incumbent must be a man of
close reasoning power, of judicial fore
sight, OF high legal, rather than political
position, all agree. Who, then, can this
wise and inspired law giver be-one fair
and impartial, who will care more for
the nation and its people than for the
advancement Of political ideas?
First, the Supreme Court might aro-
gate to itself power behind the constitu
tIon-a power ccntralizing, or rendering
absolute its enunciations. Second, each

A MOVEMENT exceedingly interesting to
Southern people is that of daily news
paper to be established in New York
City, and principally devoted to the ma
teria interests of the South. The growth
of commercial and mining interests in
this part of the Union, the Investment of
capital, calls for daily journal contain
ing especial intelligence from the South.
This intelligence is to be of more COM
.prehensive and general nature than the
New York journals have space or incli-
nation to give. The movement is being
inaugurated by Me8srs, Burke, of New
Orleans; Belos, of Galveston; Grady, of
the Constitution, Atlanta, and Heating,
of the appeal, Memphis. These gentle
men are backed by ample capital, large
field, and the favorable sentiment of a
great following in the Southern States.

Quite number of distinguished officers ap-
peared before the Commission TO advocate the
acceptance of the designs or to discuss other
business connected with the Commission. Sew
eral contractors were likewise present to confer
with the Commissioners and Engineer about
matters requiring modification or adjust
ment.
The Commission adjourned after finishing its
business, having acted upon IL regimental and
battery appropriations, there being only 81
monuments. the Irish Brigade, consisting Of
the ODD, Goth and SSth regiments, having. with
the appreciation of the Commission, decided TO
erect a brigade instead of individual monu-
ments. The 18th and l02d regiments likewise
requested the privilege of erecting joint monu-
ment. and it was granted with the understand
ing that the organization should be more COM
plete and the monument somewhat changed,
in order 10 conform to the requirements of the
Engineer.
During the Winter and early Spring the
granite for the monuments will be quarried
and dressed, and on the LIST day of May next it
is the intention of the Commission that the
foundation of the monuments shall be COM
menced, so that at least 40 monuments may be
ready for dedication on the 25th anniversary
of the battle in July next, and between so and
60 completed before the close of the working
season.
